NZDF / RNZAF via Internet Archive · 2010-12 · 445 pages · text by OCR

This is a New Zealand Defence Force public release of RNZAF file AIR 39/3/3, "Flying Saucers," which covers 1952 to 1955 and was declassified in September 2010 under the Official Information Act. It collects sighting reports from the public and military personnel, press clippings, and a table of 1952 sightings. It also holds Carter Observatory opinions attributing some reports to meteors. A large part covers the inquiry into lights seen from National Airways Corporation Flight 108 on 31 October 1955, which the RNZAF could not fully explain as Venus.

Dear Sir,

Please find enclosed news sheets issued by C.S.I., Ist Nov 1953, Ist & 8th Feb 1954., for your reference.

As yet we have not the answer to the "Mr Bender" incident in the States, we honestly consider there was some extraordinary happening, we choose not to speculate on this.

The Book "FLYING SAUCERS FROM OUTER SPACE" by Major Donald E.Keyhue U.S.M.C. Retired, published by Henry Holt & Co Ltd New York , Oct 1953, is highly recommemded as the most authoritive book and presents for the first time the most outstanding official evidence released to date.

By virtue of the authorities quoted, and official facts released, we are sure that there will be no more Official debunking of the "Saucers" from this quarter.

Yours Faithfully

Book costs 3
